Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey (knock) is doubtful but Wilfried Zaha has trained for two weeks and could play.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek is ineligible to face his parent club. Bakary Sako and Jordon Mutch are fit.
N'Golo Kante and Alvaro Morata have both been ruled out for Chelsea. Danny Drinkwater (calf) is still not fit.
Did you know?
Crystal Palace have won only one of their previous eight Premier League matches against Chelsea at Selhurst Park (W1 D1 L6).
Chelsea (421) have won more points in London derbies than any other side in PL history (P232 W119 D64 L49).
Antonio Conte could become the first Chelsea manager to record two separate winning runs of 6+ PL away matches (also December 2016).
Cesc Fabregas is one away from becoming only the third Spanish player to score 50 PL goals, after Diego Costa (52) and Fernando Torres (85).
What the managers say
Roy Hodgson: "From day one the players have been up for the fight. We need to operate better as a unit - training ground work helps that."
Antonio Conte: "Michy Batshuayi started the first game of the season. He’s in contention for a game."
